    Antifouling for leisure boats in the Baltic Sea - Mapping the legal situation
    (2015) Baaner, Lasse; Anker, Helle Tegner; Göteborgs universitet. Juridiska institutionen
    This report has been elaborated as part of the CHANGE research project (http://changeantifouling.com/) funded by the BONUS programme and national research funding institutions, in this case the Danish Social Science Research Council. The overall objective of the interdisciplinary CHANGE project is to reduce to a minimum the supply of toxic compounds from antifouling paints used on leisure boats in the Baltic Sea by changing antifouling practices on leisure boats into a sustainable consumption of antifouling products and techniques. As part of the CHANGE project a mapping of EU legislation as well as national legislation in Sweden, Finland and Denmark has been carried out. This report maps the Danish legal framework regarding antifouling paints on leisure boats as well as for the use of alternative techniques. The report starts with an introduction to the overall governance structure of the legislation and the relevant authorities. It then is divided into four areas of law relevant to antifouling paints and practices, including regulation of environmental quality, products, waste management and other environmental issues as well as contaminated land and sediments. Furthermore, the report in Annex I includes an analysis from an actors’ perspective. The report is based on legal-dogmatic research on applicable national legislation based on relevant sources of law as well as relevant reports, articles etc. Additionally, a few interviews have been conducted to get a better understanding of the legal framework in relation to antifouling products and practices. Danish legislation is accessible at the national database www.retsinformation.dk. The report was finalised in June 2015. As a consequence of the change in Government in Denmark in June 2015 the Ministry for the Environment was by 1st July 2015 merged with the Ministry of Food to a new Ministry of Environment & Food and the Nature Agency was foreseen to be split into two new agencies by 1st July 2016: a new Nature Agency and an Agency for Water and Nature Management. The Agency for Water and Nature Management takes over the tasks of the former Nature Agency as regards antifouling paints.

    Antifouling for leisure boats in the Baltic Sea. A review of the European Union chemicals and water legislation
    (2015) Nilsson, Jonas; Gipperth, Lena; Göteborgs universitet. Juridiska institutionen
    In this report, the EU legislation regulating antifouling measures for leisure boats in the Baltic Sea will be presented with particular focus on authorisation of antifouling biocides and on determining the extent of the Member States’ autonomy in other antifouling related matters. The report outlines the important provisions of applicable legislation in both the regulations concerning harmonization of the authorisation of chemicals and the directives targeting the environmental concerns of the water bodies in the Union. The Biocidal Products Regulation provides the basis for all biocidal products authorisation, including procedural provisions and requirements for approval of active substances and authorisation of biocidal products, while the Water Framework Directive and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive regulate the marine environment and provide specific environmental quality standards and measures that must be considered in the authorisation process. Provisions in both the Biocidal Products Regulation and the regulation in combination with the water policy directives provide the possibility to impose conditions or restrictions on antifouling biocides based on local environmental conditions, but the environmental concerns must be weighed against the objective of harmonization of the internal market. The particular sensitivity and unique environmental quality of the Baltic Sea constitutes aspects that can and must be taken into consideration in the authorisation process. The water quality directives put further antifouling related obligations on the Member States, which they may achieve through various regulations and actions determined at a national level.
